If I am not mistaken, the last segment was on the EL Cajon Pass, Pretty decent show.

Excellent show.  Covered Bailey Yard, locomotives, freight cars, intermodal operations, Alemeda Corridor, and dispatch/communications.

Yes...an excellent program it is. I'll be up late tonight watching it; I'm assuming it's the new episode and not the one we've all seen umteen times. Thanks for posting.
